50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Riverside

“Visiting KC from out of town and we are always on the lookout for restaurants where my kiddo with alpha gal syndrome can eat safely. Treehugger is a winner! The food was great, and it’s super family friendly. The lady who worked the register was so friendly. Really great place!“

“Had a great experience loved the food will recommend to friends and family“

Support Gigi’s Vegan + Wellness Café as much as you can make it up there.“

“My boyfriend and I visited for our anniversary. our service was phenomenal, cocktails tasty, and the was in our top favorite meals we have ever eaten! He had the Pork Chop and I had Prime Rib! Very Good!!“

“This Cafe has a great vibe. It's a wonderful place to dine in. Today I had the jalapeño Ruben and honey lavender macha. Delicious 🔥💯“

“my favorite fresh spot for salad hummus and tea/coffee, I frequent independence but prefer Westport for the wooden salad bowls, reminds me of my childhood!“

“Stopped here for breakfast before leaving KC - so worth it! The cinnamon roll, gooey butter cake, and breakfast hash were delicious! This place was highly recommended and I can see why. The hot mocha latte I got was great too! The place was packed and busy but they weee FAST on getting food and drinks out.“

“Great place, atmosphere, doing it again! #RushTraining“

“Everything is delicious! Loved it!“

“Ragazza is my favorite restaurant. We’ve been several times. Tonight we had Liz as a server and Channing helped out as well. Both of them were awesome. The food.. as always was awesome. Drinks superb. If you haven’t tried Ragazza you should. The Eggplant parm is my favorite but everything is honestly delicious.“

“Always a great experience! Good food fast! Servers are the best. We eat in there at least 3x a week. Fair prices and good quality. Best North of the river. See ya tomorrow!!“

“The food is amazing! Beckey was very attentive and friendly.“

“we had a great experience I'll definitely be back!“

“Great Chef Quality food 👌🏿 😋 Shrimp & Grits my Absolute Favorite 😍“

“super awesome place. great food and super nice people. we will definitely return and will always recommend it to anyone.“

“Pleasant visit. Enjoyed our coffee on the rooftop patio which made for a fun experience, employees were kind and helpful.“

“This place is consistently great! The same woman is there to take out order with welcoming kindness and a smile. The food is wonderful! It can be quite crowded because it’s no secret how great it is. This is one of my favorite places to eat when I’m in the mood for Mediterranean style food. I love the market just outside as well.“

“I love Beer Kitchen!! They have fun and easy going servers, the food is terrific and diverse enough to please a large group of diners, and it’s all in a really nice environment that balances decor and vibe with practicality and ease of business. Take advantage of their happy hour when you can those deals are great, you won’t generally eat a meal here for under $30, but the price is well worth the taste and quality of your meal.“

“This was a great choose for a small relaxed family dinner. 4 stars for food, only because some meal portions were smaller than desired for the price however hats off to the cook the evening of 07/11/26; the flavor and presentation was perfect. 3 stars for service just because our hostess could have been more welcoming; personable and informative about the menu offerings etc, maybe she's just not the talking type who knows but everything else about the visit here was much enjoyed.“

“Great coffee, perfecto customer service and food!!“

“The place is as nicely done. Staff were excellent. Tour was great. Enjoyed the whole experience. Would recommend it to everyone.“

“Best Swiss chocolate truffles and quiche! (Still excellent)

I do notice a change in the attitude of the staff since about later 2025.

This may be because of any number of things. Around October 22 or 23 there were two bank robberies,first 1:30pm in Waldo area US bank Gregory Boulevard and Wornall Road-last one at 3:30pm a block away UMB Bank 49th & Main Street.

While the wait staff is excellent in a leisurely lunch, yet highly attentive; the sales staff are aggressive as soon as I am finished with the meal.
Even if I go to purchase a special treat not having a meal, and I want to shop. Also the price of chocolate treats were around $97.00 a pound for liquor chocolate truffles in February 2026!I don’t even look at the truffles anymore ( prices may fluctuate but I have noticed it’s unlikely prices go down).

I feel the sales staff rush customers to pay and leave.“

“Awruff! Bay Boy Sandwiches at the Commons! Where even to start! Tail-Wagging fun from the moment I walked it! Sports games, arcade games, lawn games, and skeeball! This place has it all! 🏈 🎯 🕹️I got a mouth-watering sandwich, The Bandit! Roast beef, smokey cheddar, red onion, raspberry jam and horseradish all on a delicious Dutch crunch roll! 🐶💚🥪 The atmosphere was high-energy and just felt less like strangers, and more like your own pack. It took a minute for our food to be ready, but it was so hot and fresh, and the staff were so nice I didn't mind! 10/10 🦴 will definitely be back!“

“My entire party agreed the food was fresh and delicious! Many options from which to choose.“

“The food was absolutely amazing and we loved our waitress. I had the crab cakes, mushroom gnocchi, and carrot cake which were all fantastic! The only downside was that the portions were pretty small so even after my husband and I both got an appetizer, entree, and dessert we were still a bit hungry.“

“I came from Colorado and was introduced to cliffs taphouse, I got a chicken bacon club sandwich. This was the best sandwich I have ever had! After eating at this restaurant my only complaints are that we don’t have it in Colorado ☹. every day after eating this sandwich I have dreamed of eating another. If your ever in Kansas City and you don’t visit this restaurant you are making a HUGE mistake.“

“This was my go-to spot every single week when I lived in Kansas City five years ago. Since then, I’ve lived in Georgia, California, and Washington, and I currently reside in Seattle—yet this place remains the #1 Vietnamese restaurant I’ve ever been to. I am so jealous of the people who live nearby. Highly recommended!“

“Everything is so delicious 👍“

“Amazing homemade ice cream and waffle cones! We were very impressed and will be back.“

“We had a great experience today with a work group. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal.“

“Perfectly and freshly prepared menu items that just called on Spain! Absolutely delicious, charming surroundings and immaculate service. Luke and Megan made La Bodega totally memorable with their charm and polite kindness⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We went here three times yesterday. Yes, three times. We were at an event around the corner and were able to walk over. We ate at 5 of the venders. All were fabulous. Mushroom burger, paneer wrap, avocado toast, curry fries, focaccia, street corn, and ice cream. All the staff were so kind and engaging. It was easy to find many GF options too. Just wish there would have been more heater lamps since it was cold.“

“Amazing coffee! Will certainly have to return!“

“Amazing food and great atmosphere!!“

“my FAVORITE place for special occasion brunches- my birthday, mother's day, etc everything is always delicious and we love the small business support in the brands shared in the front of the restaurant and in the menu options!“

“I’ve been here about a dozen times and I get the same thing every time, the Shanghai udon, and it is my new comfort food. It is so, so good. The sauce on it is absolutely divine. I want to try more menu items but the udon is so good I keep coming back to it“

“Stopped here for breakfast before leaving KC - so worth it! The cinnamon roll, gooey butter cake, and breakfast hash were delicious! This place was highly recommended and I can see why. The hot mocha latte I got was great too! The place was packed and busy but they weee FAST on getting food and drinks out.“

“Everything was amazing, but our waitress was the best part! She was so friendly & knowledgeable & her smile brighten our day!!! Her name is China, I would recommend going just to see her!“

“Very cool vibe, excellent drinks and food“

“amazing meal and staff. first time tonight but won’t be the last“

“I never expected to find such a gem scrolling for breakfast on google. Their breakfast menu brings a beautiful blend of culinary fine dining with home style comfort food. The owners are so kind and genuine quick to strike up a conversation. And their house made chai tea is absolutely to die for, I will definitely be back time and time again for that alone. I can’t wait to come back and try their specials!“

“Arthur!!!! I so wish you could deliver to Florida ! I don’t miss a ton of places from home . However , we came there at least 3 times a week , and it was always fantastic ! Every single aspect ! So delicious 😋. Still hoping for delivery lol, but if I ever come home you can bet I’ll be there ! Hope you all are well!“

“Staff, dinner, wine, and ambiance were all amazing. Great NYE dinner! The scallops were cooked perfectly! Highly recommend to all!“

“This wonderful place is a must visit! The space itself is beautiful (with lovely murals and a charming book selection on offer to buy), the coffee drinks are delicious and original, and the food is transcendent: it really could not have been tastier or more creative. All the staff were very helpful and nice: a huge KC highlight!“

“Amazing food, quick service, and friendly staff.“

“The strong smell of liquid smoke made me wonder how it was cooked. The brisket was dry, when I added the sauce the sandwich was enjoyable. Will order again. Delivery was quick.“

“Darion was excellent. Simply excellent. This was our first visit here and we were not disappointed. Huge shareable portions, everything was hot and fresh. We will definitely be coming back. What an experience; so much fun and laughter over an excellent meal.“

“My husband and I love coming to MOD pizza, the service is always exceptional and the pizza is tasty! I want to mention specifically the two gentlemen working the early afternoon today 1/13/26. They were both incredibly kind and helpful! I wish I’d gotten their names.“

“delicious Pho, friendly staff.“
